Which can NOT form as the result of oceanic-oceanic convergence?
rift zones
What type of boundaries are subduction zones associated with?
Convergent oceanic - continental and oceanic - oceanic boundaries.
What is a oceanic-oceanic convergent boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is oceanic -oceanic convergent boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What is a oceanic boundary?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
What are places where oceanic crust sinks back to the mantle?
No. Mid oceanic ridges are the places where new oceanic crust are forming.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink at subduction but not at mid ocean ridges?
oceanic lithosphere sinks at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges because at subduction zones the oceanic lithosphere is subducted, or sinks, under another plate. Oceanic Lithosphere sinks at subduction zones which are usually at convergent boundaries, but at mid-ocean ridges the plates are actually separating not coming together
What is the three oceanic zones and the three land zones?
1. surface 2. thermocline 3. deep
When two oceanic plates converge what are formed?
subduction zones
What is a oceanic continental convergent?
These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
Why does oceanic lithosphere sink at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges?
oceanic lithosphere sinks at subduction zones but not at mid ocean ridges because at subduction zones the oceanic lithosphere is subducted, or sinks, under another plate. Oceanic Lithosphere sinks at subduction zones which are usually at convergent boundaries, but at mid-ocean ridges the plates are actually separating not coming together
Subduction zones and what type of boundary do they represent?
Subduction zones represent convergent boundaries, where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust, or under a less dense oceanic crust.
